Obviously you can't get stocks or options, but why wouldn't they be willing to pay bonuses for a job well done/performance or provide free food, if that gets the right kind of people into the door? I don't get it.

Congress decides how the executive branch is paid and how it should use that money. Free food and other "free" perks run afoul of that.
